Are you a designer/developer or just an activator?
I started doing web design/development back in 1999 when I was in the Army. At my first duty station, they made me a Webmaster and sent me to my first HTML-coding class.

Why do we give up “simple pleasures” when we get older?
You know, I could be totally wrong, and I’m definitely not an expert on the subject, but I’m going to venture to assert that the reason our levels of stress increase as we get older is because we give up so many of the things that gave us simple pleasures when we were younger. I […]

The best award I’ve ever received…
Right before joining the Army in 1999, I taught 8th grade American Studies at what was considered a middle school in a low-income, disadvantaged neighborhood. At the end of each school year, the grades would have awards ceremonies where the teachers would give out certificates to the students with the top grades in each subject. […]
